About Us
A Kiwi owned and operated Auckland workshop that’s been earning trust one honest repair at a time since 1992.
Over Three Decades on Auckland’s North Shore
Established in 1992 as the first dedicated diesel mechanic on Auckland’s North Shore, we’ve been providing diesel and petrol service and repairs to the local community and beyond ever since. What started as a small local workshop has grown into a trusted name built almost entirely on word of mouth.
We’re proud to still be Kiwi owned and operated. When you bring your vehicle to us, you deal directly with the people who own the business and stand behind the work — not a call centre, not a franchise, not a stranger.
Today our team is made up of four qualified mechanical technicians with over 50 years of experience between them, covering everything from diesel and petrol engines to trucks, vans, fleets, campervans and buses.
